Late dinner, grumpy Truffle

Truffle knows when dinner is running late. Just look at the grumpy face she was sporting while lying in wait by her food bowl!

Both Belka and Peaches know to give Truffle a wide berth whenever they see her wearing this expression.

Thankfully for Peaches and Belka, Truffle didn't have to wait for long. Cucumber and cilantro were enough to placate the surly peeg - for the next hour at least.

Do your pigs keep to a timely feeding schedule?

  1. Is more than my life is worth to be late with the veggies or hay. Hysterical pups, standing at the front of the cages, shrieking away.

  2. The evenings are more flexible - they've learned more by behaviors than by schedules because dinner time moves around with our crazy work schedules. However, breakfast is non-negotiable. If they are not fed by 7:30 am, they riot. Fergs will toss beans on the bedroom floor, Wendy cries, and Jaina chews coroplast. This is incredibly adorable, usually, unless you stay out late on Friday and want to sleep in on Saturday!

    Truffles is too cute!! I love her face haha

  3. Pretty much. There's general unrest at feeding time, and noses stuck in the air for second breakfast.

  4. Dusty gets really mad if he doesn't have a full water bottle twenty four seven, but it is not as much as feeding/watering time but when he gets woken up. I had to wake him up a six in the morning once and he glared at me the rest of the day! Boy that pig can hold a grudge...

  5. And some people talk about training their guinea pigs.. I think it's the other way around, the pigs are the ones training their humans!

  6. My brother works at Keva Juice (Jamba Juice in some parts) and has donated several(and counting) flats of wheat grass, we are currently growing them in our back yard. Dusty is very exited to start grazing on them!
